  1. What star is this with beams so bright Words: Charles Coffin, 1736. Music: Michael Praetorius, 1609

  2. What star is this, with beams so bright, more lovely than the noonday light? 'Tis sent to announce a new-born King, glad tidings of our God to bring.

  3. 'Tis now fulfilled what God decreed, "From Jacob shall a star proceed;" and lo! the eastern sages stand, to read in heaven the Lord's command.

  4. While outward signs the star displays, an inward light the Lord conveys, and urges them, with force benign, to seek the giver of the sign.

  5. True love can brook no dull delay; through toil and dangers lies their way; and yet their home, their friends, their all they leave at once, at God's high call.

  6. O, while the star of heavenly grace invites us, Lord, to seek thy face, may we no more that grace repel, or quench that light which shines so well!

  7. To God the Father, God the Son, and Holy Spirit, three in One, may every tongue and nation raise an endless song of thankful praise!

  9. "Prepare and go", the angels said "To Bethlehem, be not afraid For there you'll find, this happy morn A princely babe, sweet Jesus born".

  10. Jesu, Whom the Gentiles worshipp’d At Thy glad Epiphany, Unto Thee, with God the Father And the Spirit, glory be
